This is a simple starter project written in Ruby which provides a minimal example of Google Calendar integration within a Sinatra web application.

Once you've run the starter project and played with the features it provides, this starter project provides a great place to start your experimentation into the API.

Please make sure that you're running Ruby 1.8.7+ and you've run bundle install on the sample to install all prerequisites.

This API uses OAuth 2.0. Learn more about Google APIs and OAuth 2.0 here: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2

Or, if you'd like to dive right in, follow these steps.

• Visit https://console.developers.google.com/start/api?id=calendar to create or select a project in the Google Developers Console and automatically turn on the API. Click Continue, then Go to credentials.
• At the top of the page, select the OAuth consent screen tab. Select an Email address, enter a Product name if not already set, and click the Save button.
• Select the Credentials tab, click the Add credentials button and select OAuth 2.0 client ID.
• Select the application type Other, enter the name "Calendar API Quickstart", and click the Create button.
• Click OK to dismiss the resulting dialog.
• Click the (Download JSON) button to the right of the client ID. Move this file to your working directory and rename it client_secrets.json.

I'm assuming you've checked out the code and are reading this from a local directory. If not check out the code to a local directory.

1. Start up the embedded Sinatra web server

    $ bundle exec ruby calendar.rb
   

2. Open your web browser and see your activities! Go to http://localhost:4567/

3. Be inspired and start hacking an amazing new web app!
